BOO-DA-HAH And you can determine the state of consciousness of the speaker by how he pronounces "Buddha". If he just says BUHDAH -- as he would BUTTER but with "Ds" instead of "Ts" and dropping the "R" -- then he is of low consciousness. If he says it with the three syllables distinctly enunciated -- BOO-DA-HAH -- then he is, of course, very highly evolved. Throw in an East-Asian accept and say it very quickly then you're probably an Avatar.
It's like in the TM Movement: if you say MA-HA-Ri-SHI you are lowly evolved and should just be cleaning the floors of your local center. But...if you pronounce it MA-HAR-SHI then you are, of course, a long-time TMer who is personally close to and beloved of MMY and you are highly evolved. There are exceptions of course. Notably, Charlie Lutes. Not only did Charlie pronouce it MA-HA-RI-SHI, the son-of-a-gun threw in the article, to boot! Charlie always referred to him as THE MA-HA-RI- SHI which gave him a good-ole-boy rep who could still go into any board room in America and slap the back of any stogie-totin' CEO and, in the same breath, tell them he was now going to go off and close his eyes and silently repeat a "mantra". ------------------------ Yahoo!
